In 2016, Billboard reported that Styles had signed a solo record deal with Columbia. If he is releasing a solo single this April, it will mark Styles’ first. Since One Direction began an indefinite hiatus in 2016, he’s kept busy taking on a role in Christoper Nolan’s upcoming World War II drama Dunkirk(out July 21) and writing songs for other artists, including Michael Bublé.

Styles’ teasers come on the heels of a big week for current and former One Direction members: Zayn Malik dropped a new song titled “Still Got Time” Thursday night, while Liam Payne announced Saturday that he and Cheryl Cole have welcomed their first child.
